I just started saddle hunting and haven't purchased a platform yet. I'm getting an early start to next season. I plan on building my own climbing sticks with aiders based in DIy Sportsman's build with a few on my own modifications. Sticks are easy to plan for since I've used hang ons before. My question is about platforms. Is it better to build my own or just buy one? If it's better to buy one, how do I know which one to go with if I can't try them all out first?
